Brutal. Plausible. Well written. I kinda hate the "Pam breaks up with Jim post-S4" mini-genre, but you did well with it.

I’m so glad this wasn’t canon, but I also can’t deny that this is beautiful and was such a possibility. I really appreciate that it’s about Pam realizing she needs to find out about herself, not that Pam found another guy to be with. Really well done.

You broke my heart in such a beautiful way, as you have done time and again. The last 3 words helped glue the pieces back together.

Catching up on stories and came across this. This makes me so sad, unfold, but it's so well written. Poor Jim. I can just feel the desperation and loneliness.

Grr, I wrote a review, but the internet ate it. Let's try this again....
Your stuff is predictable only in the sense that I know I'm guaranteed an excellent read; that it'll be lovely and succinct and spot-on. While I hope we don't see things go in this direction on the show, I definitely think it's a realistic take on the possibility of how it would be if they did go this way. (Did that make sense? I'm so exhausted that nothing has made sense to me all day, lol.)
In any case, a great read -- fantastic, just as all your stuff is. Thanks for this!

I don't know how everything you write is so amazing...but it is. I hope this doesn't happen on the show but I makes for good (but heartbreaking) fic. Love the last line.

*wince* Ooo. Straight to the griefbone, girl. And yet, sadly enough, I can totally see this happening. :( I hope it doesn't.
As always, well written. I think you did a good job of getting us in Jim's head; not many people even try that. And yeah, Pam might decide that jumping from one engagement to another is too fast, even though Jim's waited forever for her.
Best of all, I love this insight: "We were never really friends to begin with. There was always something else beneath that veneer. And I knew it was all or nothing for us. "

I must say that this is very well-written. But I sort of disagree with the premise. I don't quite understand why Pam needs to be alone to find herself. I think she did that in season 3.
But even with that, I love your style. And even though I'm not sure I buy Pam's sudden need for space, I found her and Jim's reactions to the aftermath to be completely in character.

I'm drawn to all your angst because you write it so well. It's so plausible and that's what affects me! So, awesome job, even though now I'm paranoid that something like this might actually happen :)

I love this line too:
"We couldn’t go back to being friends. We were never really friends to begin with. There was always something else beneath that veneer. And I knew it was all or nothing for us."
I love it because it's exactly the line for the man in my life. This story was written so well, it's so real. Well done!

Love this, even though it's dark...
We couldn’t go back to being friends. We were never really friends to begin with. There was always something else beneath that veneer. And I knew it was all or nothing for us.
It should never have been a question in the first place is the problem. That’s why I couldn’t answer her then.
Love those lines. It feels a little noir-ish and I think its amazing.

okay, deep breath out.
That was a beautiful piece of angst. I'll be telling myself that Pam doesn't need any more time on her own, she's had enough. But, I think you're right, they'll be throwing a wrench in their S5 relationship. As if we haven't been through enough and people can't actually live happily ever after.
Great story!

...and then I wake up and realize it was all just a nightmare. ;-)
I tried to stop myself from reading it knowing full well that it would just depress me, but I love your writing so much I couldn't help myself!

Ow ow ow ow...
Hurts so good. I hope you're wrong. :)

Your stories always hurt, yet everytime a new one comes up I can't stop myself from reading. This was as heartbreaking, painful, and beautiful as ever. Excellent story.
Date: June 23, 2008 08:51 pm Title: Chapter 1
ouch. that hurt. But that's okay though because your writing is just beautiful and it flows so perfectly. Great job.

Break my heart, why don't you. And a dash of possibility at the end...thanks for that. Oh, this was good!!

I have come to the conclusion that you're not a very happy person and that you like torturing poor JAM fans who are far far too invested in these characters lives. Also, that you're the best there is at crushing their poor little souls. Bwa ha ha ha. etc. So... I have blathered on for too long in a not entirely sensical way. Keep up the good work.

wow angsty angst! You write them so well, in all your stories - with the pent up emotion and very realistic dissatisfaction that differentiates real life from the stories we watch on TV. Very good :)
